Slowdown Studio’s Vibrant, Artist-Collab Throws Are Coming Home

Slowdown Studio made its name overseas with tapestry-style throws created in collaboration with illustrators and artists from around the world.

But after 10 years in Los Angeles, the brand – founded and run by Aussies – is finally setting up shop back home, bringing cheaper shipping and an end to weeks-long waits for long-wishlisted pieces.

Most of the collection is woven from 100 per cent cotton, featuring bold motifs that double as wall art (wall-hanger clips are available, too). Works include projects with Australian illustrator Micke Lindebergh , Uruguayan creative Maitaimai and dozens of emerging creatives from Berlin to Brooklyn.

Beyond blankets, the range extends to cushions , glassware and bath mats – though it’s the limited-edition throws that cement the brand’s cult status. Each design is made to last, crafted in the US using recycled fibres and ethical production methods.
